But the audience wasn’t expecting to be on the receiving end of Oprah’s annual giveaway since they’d been told they would be attending a show about meditation. Instead, they got the shock of their lives, coming away with a load of surprise goodies ranging from a seven-day Caribbean cruise all the way down to a T-shirt that read: “Season 25, the Farewell Season.” Their expected hour of peaceful contemplation instantly turned into 60 minutes of non-stop, screaming bedlam.

The list of items on this final edition of “Oprah’s Favorite Things” was too big too fit in just Friday’s show, so the rest of it will be seen on Monday. The cruise was one of the most expensive items on the gift list, along with a watch studded with 85 diamonds. “It’s a diamond wa-a-a-tch!” screamed Oprah when the watches were unveiled.

While most of the items were small, a truck would have come in handy to tote the 52-inch Sony BRAVIA flat-screen 3-D TV (with a complementary Blu-Ray player and a stack of 3-D movies on DVD) that each audience member received. In fact, not only did the studio audience receive the gifts, but another audience group waiting outside to attend the taping of another ‘Oprah’ show, were also included in the giveaway.

Among the nearly 20 items Oprah gave away was a Nikon camera worth $700, Judith Ripka earrings, a cashmere sweater and throw rug from Ralph Lauren, and a Panini press.

The audience was even serenaded by the Black-Eyed Peas. The group’s new CD, “The Beginning,” was also on Oprah’s gift list.
